Baby it's cold outside

It is finally beginning to feel like winter here! Just to prove it to you here are some pics!

I love the snow! I love how the snow brightens our nights! I love how my house seems to be warmer during snowy nights! I love waking up to fresh blanket of snow that hasn't melted, been shoveled, or played in! I love that on most snowy days I am blessed to be able to stay home and enjoy the beauty of it!

My kids LOVE the snow! They LOVE to eat it too!

Ever since I was about... ohhhhhhhhh... ummmmmmmmm... 13? *scratching my head* I think that's right. Yes, we'll say 13.
Ever since I was 13 I knew I would be a mother of boys. In fact I wanted 6. Yes, 6 boys and no girls!(Remember this was when I was 13 and I love my little girl!)
I remember being in elementary school and my 4th grade teacher Mr. Carroll asked us to write down a life plan. Mine included that I would graduate High School, go to College, stay home and be a mother and then when my children were older I would go to work. I probably didn't start thinking about the logistics of things until I was a teen. If you notice in my plan being married wasn't even something I thought about. That could be due to the fact that my mother was not married for much of any of my childhood/adulthood, and my father was out of the picture. When my mother decided it was time for my twin and I to have a relationship with my father we found out he had been murdered.
Anyway, I tend to get easily distracted... it shows even in my writing.
Anyway, I don't know why I wanted 6 boys but I am so grateful for the 2 I have been blessed with! There is something special about holding a sweet baby boy and I sure love holding mine!

Some cute kids

The kids found some sticks so I sewed them up some flags and they loved them!
Drezden loved that there was a heart on hers!

Sullivan loves to play in the sandbox. This was probably the most decent shot I was able to get of him in between shoveling sand and then throwing it against the shed. *Naughty boy!*


And I can't forget this cute boy!!! He is 7 weeks old now and I just can't get enough of this sweet little face and his cute little grunts!!!

Drezden


Just playing around

So I am commited to becoming a better photographer and to start out I decided during naptime to take a few pictures of Emmett and Drezden. I liked these two ones of Emmett. Having them overexposed gives an even more cherubic look to my sweet baby!

Cinderella

I saw this tutorial and decided to try it so last night I made this(see pic below)



Drezden loved it! Yes loved it... *sigh* costume satin sometimes just isn't worth all the hassle, but it was worth all of the giggles and smiles I got from my princess this morning!!!

Just some pics...

I have really been slacking when it comes to taking pics of my kids, and unfortunatley these are the best out of 30 pics I had on my CF... After this next little boy arrives I will definitley hop on the bandwagon and start taking pics again. Hopefully get in a class sometime in the near future too! Seriously though... why have a nice camera if you don't know how to use it to the best of it's ability?

my 1st mobile update

i havent blogged in forever... well, that is what it feels like anyway.
i am updating via phone so there will be no pictures... anyway sullivan turned 2 on the 11th. i cant believe he is 2 already! he had a fun birthday. we headed to grandmas house and grandma and uncle alex took sullivan and drezden swimming. then on the weekend phil and i took the kids to jumpin jacks! they had a great time! phil had fun too!!! i just watched. i didnt think it would be very comfortable jumping being 9 months pregnant. speaking of pregnancy i am still pregnant... just 15 days until this little guys due date. i am hoping he comes a little early, but my last two came right on time so i figure tha is what is going to happen this time too.
oh and drezden is potty trained! i am so proud of her!
